Dear saints,

On Thursday, October 10th we will resume the bi-weekly working saints fellowship with our brother Minoru. We have found these times to be so encouraging and supplying, and we look forward to the Lord's continued speaking for the building up of His Body and the preparation of His bride.
 
We hope that all of the working saints will endeavor to join these times of fellowship.
 
When: Every other Thursday (beginning 10/10/24)

Heb. 10:25  Not abandoning our own assembling together, as the custom with some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more as you see the day drawing near.

1. The church in Sacramento is in the process of purchasing a new meeting hall to replace its existing one due to deteriorating neighborhood, limited parking capacity, and the tragic memories associated with it. The deadline for the church in Sacramento to secure funds in the amount of $3.25 million for the new hall is October 15. If you would be burdened to donate to the church in Sacramento, you can do so directly or through the church in Irvine’s website by designating your offering as being for the “Sacramento Meeting Hall”.  For the full letter from the church in Sacramento, please click here.

2. The church in Madrid, Spain, would like to purchase a house next door to its meeting hall for approximately $1.5 million, that would, together with the meeting hall and a second neighboring house already purchased and owned by the church, give the church possession of an entire city block. By such consolidating the ownership of the whole block, the church anticipates multiplying its capacity to host conferences and receive hospitality for the purpose of blending, since Madrid plays a central role in the Lord’s move in Europe’s Iberian Peninsula.  If you are burdened to make a donation to be applied towards the purchase of this house in Madrid, you can do so directly or through the church in Irvine’s website by designating your offering as being for the “Madrid House”. For the full letter from the church in Madrid, please click here.

Praise the Lord for supplying the churches in Southern California with His rich speaking during this last weekend’s SoCal Labor Day Weekend Blending Conference!

Many of the saints has been requesting access to the recordings of this conference. You may access them here:

May the pneumatic Shepherd continue to feed the flock of God in Southern California to reproduce Himself in us organically as faithful shepherds to fulfill His purpose in and through us!

Since starting the Truth Pursuit program in March 2005, the church has covered 1,624 Life-Study messages at a relatively modest pace of 2 messages per week! Anyone following this program would have now read 81.85% of the 1,984 total messages in the Life-Studies, including both Old Testament and New Testament. At this pace, we will complete the Life-Studies in their entirety by sometime in 2026!

Reading two messages of the Life-Studies a week is very feasible. For instance, the Life-Study of Zechariah has 97 pages broken up into 15 chapters. This translates to slightly more than 2 pages of Life-Studies daily (assuming you read 6 days a week). Depending on the pace of reading, this could take roughly 5 minutes of your time each day.

Additionally, in order to assist your digestion of the Life-Study messages, the church can send you emails each week with study questions to direct your considerations for each Life-Study message. If you do not receive these emails currently, you are welcome to join the church’s email distribution list by clicking HERE and signing up to receive these emails.

Given the reasonableness of following the church’s truth pursuit schedule, we encourage all the saints to join in this corporate pursuit of the truth in the ministry together as we all seek to arrive at the oneness of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, at a full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ! (Eph. 4:13)

To follow the current reading schedule, please refer to the schedule under the Truth Pursuit tab.

Offerings to the church in Irvine can now be made via Zelle.

The church’s Zelle account is: Zelle@churchinirvine.org

The benefit of making offerings by Zelle is that there are no transaction fees charged to the church. If the offering is for a particular matter please designate that in the memo field.

If your Zelle limit is below the offering amount you would like to give, it is often possible to raise that limit by requesting that your bank increase your transaction limit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For those already using Zelle related to other matters (e.g., paying rent for corporate housing), you should continue using the same Zelle address as before.

For any questions please email offering@churchinirvine.org. (Note: Do not Zelle funds to this email address)

Upcoming Events: Please see calendar here
